ANTHRO(POST)SCENE [In memory of]

PREMISE: “It is the year 2050 and we are still alive. The past 3 decades have seen dramatic changes to atmospheric carbon, once that have set the course to the post Anthropocene, an end to an epoch.”

The aim of this project is to shed light upon the rising global temperature, discuss the role of CO2 in it, and urge people to allow carbon to help keep the warming below 1.5 degree Celcius. The project also stresses the critical importance of a 2030 milestone - 65% of CO2 reduction- to possibly achieve a carbon neutral environment by 2050, our only chance before climate change becomes irreversible.

The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide is central to global warming and climate crisis. Yet could the element of this compound; sequestered, contained and transformed, produce new mediums for climate resilience?

The Carbon Cycle is vital to life on Earth. Yet, humans, by burning fossil fuels, have disturbed the natural balance of the carbon cycle and led to climate change and global warming. As architects, eliminating the embodied carbon of building structure, substructure, and enclosures which accounts for 11% of global GHG emissions is of paramount importance.

“We captured the carbon at the ventilation tower on Governors island and transformed the captured carbon into a new self-decomposing material. This prototype of capturing the carbon at its source of emission, for a 50 thousand mile vehicular tunnel, later multiplied over the entire Interstate Highway System that has led us to achieve a carbon neutral environment.”

“Rather than to forget that we have resolved carbon concentration in the atmosphere, we see a memorial on Governors Island. We decided to relate house 14 at Nolan park to the vertical monumentality of this unacknowledged edifice.”

ACADEMIC | PRATT SPRING STUDIO | 2021 Governors Island serves as a landmark of past carbon use, and its ventilation tower is where the story of the carbon began.

The chunk model of house 14 to define spaces over the narrative of monuments and memorials. The model arrangement helped interpret filleted corners and arched spaces. I questioned the flatness of floor plates, and started connecting levels with heavy staircases, established a relationship between solid masses and void spaces, the thickness and thinness of materiality.

The visitors on Governors Island proceed through outdoor landscape design into Building 14, its a procession and a remembering. A ceremonial route that carves the ground, marking its locus as a source of by following the same path through the outdoor carvings underground into a dark dungeon.

Our project is a memory for what’s lost because of the impact of carbon dioxide emissions, the loss we never accounted for or acknowledged in the past. We converted this ephemeral gas into solid carbon, to grieve for this loss, and to avoid further demise. In this moment in future, are we responsible for remembering the kind of ecological issues our pior modes of development had created? The project has a janus faced quality , like Governors Island itself-- we may ask on this basis, does the memorial look back at the problem and does it point to a different type of ecological future?

We are immersed all around the concrete, one of the most widely used building materials. With this material created from carbon captured at the site, we remind people of impacts of human intervention in the past but also acknowledge the potential that future holds.

The perspective section here draws back to the idea of vertical ventilation building that goes deep, below grade. Continuous stairway spirals around different spatial qualities of a memorial. These spaces aim at evoking a cold feeling by being in a narrow space buried a few feets below in the ground. Carbon and the ground perhaps, literally create a cooling system, a damp cold breath from the ground, we don't need air conditioners any more. We cool the air with underground labyrinths.

ANTHRO(POST)SCENE [Re-living the memory]

PREMISE: “It is the year 2050 and it’s been an eventful 30 years and a marker for the change in our cultural trajectory. We realised our flaws and we sought amends. The process of carbon capture further opened up opportunities for us to experiment with this element. As an essential step to utilise the captured carbon, it was stored deep under the ground as deposits. Over the years, the sediments formed by accumulation of captured carbon transformed into multiple layers of carbon material. The island is now a block of carbon material, a platform for innovation in the way we construct and design habitats. All this has led to a ruined state of material to be used as futuristic living.”

MARKETPLACE

Exploring the depths of the stored carbon and using it as a material, spaces are carved out to create new living environments. Deposition forms layers and thus creates textures. As a result we obtain patterns of striations and porous accumulation at places taken up as opportunities and design foci. The strategy to excavate and form the crater was in forms of circular rings where the layers of the carbon material are evident with an element that adds to the aesthetics of the memorial idea.

FOSSILS

EXHIBITION LABS ARENA

In the process of excavation, mounds were developed with the spoil, used to aid the temperature control for habitation beneath, for community farming, and to define new circulation on the site. Mounds also are opportunities to connect energy generating functions around the crater visually and by circulation as well.

CARBON

Using the carbon as regenerative material and a host to energy, it is an opportunity to create a sustainable structure that provides for the user and takes care of itself by becoming a powerhouse. Simply, movement too would contribute as a resource.

The project addresses the thought of independent living where the systems of the house are powered by it’s building materials. In order to make this functional, a mixed use aspect is associated with the scheme, which also creates a demand for further use of the system of carbon.

The studio spaces in top tiers integrate with the bottom ones to open up as a marketplace and recreational area . Creating experiences with varied time frames is what the crater offers. Visitors can experience living in the crater for a year, produce their own food and energy, and explore the material when the island isn’t open for public access for 6 months, then share the produce and experience with visitors in the other half of the year. From 12 seconds to 12 months, you have a carbon memory to take back as a souvenir.

The crater lives on the principles of a retreat where carbon is your energy, pick your timeline and be part of the process. The journey begins from crater being an exhibit in itself with it functionally being a machine, a micro climate lab. The craters envision communal life, where people have the opportunity to communicate amidst their centrally facing green spaces and gather at the core for communal activities. The porosity in the material allows the ground water to gather and form a pool in the basin of the crater, used as a landscape asset.

ADD TO CART

Being a part of an imperative topic of debate in Mumbai, the coastal road con

struction, and its adverse effects on the ecology and ever residing coastal koli-communities led to promoting social housing and community development through its design.

“Add to cart” is a modern solution for micro-housing that allows a house to grow within a given space. It is designed in a way that it can be multiplied, deducted & customised as per the different stages of a man’s life and his lifestyle choices.

FUTURE EXPANSION

Mumbai, a megacity, is home to many traditional communities. Some communities bear the brunt of urban sprawl & migration and are on a verge of extinction. One such is the closely knitted Koli community of fishermen, entitled as the original inhabitants of Mumbai, that are suffering an economical, social and cultural loss today. The proposed Coastal road development along the water banks will hugely affect the profession of this community, eventually leading them to migrate from their original habitation. Our concept of micro-housing shall retain and uplift this community, making it viable even through rapid urbanization.

1-2% of the city land is occupied by supporting structural systems that act as dead spaces, hence these structural systems can be constructed in such a way that they can host these communities. The housing takes place along the proposed infrastructure of the coastal road, while it saves green lands from undue rehabilitation of the fishermen. It also brings them closer to their profession and proposes a waterfront development program. This is the city supporting the fishermen’s concerns, fishermen supporting the city’s concerns inturn.

SARVA MANGALA PEETHAM

Sarva Mangala Peetham is a 50,000 sq.ft. technologically advanced experience center designed to encourage women empowerment, presently under construction in North India. It walks the audience around the ancient Indian mythology of Yugas - the four ages of life around the World. Through the Yugas are 21 varied installations telling stories about significant works of women that set the course of Indian history. SMP is a rehabilitation project worked out around many challenges of the existing structure. “There is no chance of welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on one wing.”

Exhibition Goal : By designing an end to end sustainable exhibition, we proposes to talk about climate change in respect of time-space quality, the possibility of what the future could hold. This Climate Emergency Biennale at Governors Island in New York aims at inviting thinkers and practitioners who work largely in the field of climate, science, art and architecture, to push forward sustainable methods of living and construction to minimize carbon footprint in building designs.

The brief of the exhibition is to visualise how life can be a few decades ahead when we would have achieved carbon neutrality, and eliminated the constant need for search of climate solutions. With the help of participants and guest speakers, the exhibition aims at starting a dialouge within these communtites of artists and scientists to start visualizing a healthier future.

The exhibition at the same time aims at educating common people about the climate reality through immersive, multi-sensory experiences at these pavilions. The goal is to make everyone aware of where we stand on the environmental front without overwhelming them with the reality. The biennale wants the visitors to leave with some sense of hope about an optimistic future but also with awareness of the urgency and burden of individual responsibility.

Produces food and drinking water for visitors. Produces energy and mushrooms for pavilions.

Promotes mushroom as a food, and food grown on biotope through innovative engagement strategies.

Narrates the stories of sustainability, thus completing the circle.

Fabricates mycelium from mushrooms and graphene from captured carbon.

Fabricates mycelium products like chairs, benches, shades, packaging material, partition boards etc.

Uses conserved electricity and graphene for storing data, constructing reflective surfaces for projections, actual projections etc.

TO FUTURE IT NOW

Carbon Emergency Curatorial Statement: ‘To Future It Now’ is a proposal for a climate biennale that would speak about the diminishing natural resources on Earth, how increasing use of fossil fuels is directly proportional to the rise in sea levels, the need to achieve carbon neutrality, and the urgency to achieve it now. The biennale would address questions like, how long and far can we propose pragmatic solutions for climate change, how could water as a rising element be used as a fuel to replace the need for burning non-renewables, how far can living species adapt to change, and what is the end game of civilization.

RAISING SPIRITS OF ODISHA

This centre for craftsmen uses architecture as a catalyst for social upliftment and enrichment of vanishing cultural values. The proposal encourages the idea of home close to work and also preserving the cultural heritage that has been residing there for decades. Such art forms have been and will always be an identity of Odisha and its people. This preposition promises to fulfill and meet the short comings faced by the artist colony, moreover improving their state of living and occupation drastically.

Education has consistently proven to be the fundamental aspect of future development, but in a country with 67% rural population, the present development of the community becomes primary. In scenarios like these, a school can not only be an educational hub but a community core.

The design works best as an ideal co-working space for the school and the community artisans to work in unison. Sanitation, Food and Medication being the necessities unavailable, the design celebrates a public toilet and medication facility in-turn luring the community towards the school.

Traditional arts are predominant here, the school encourages these and helps augment its future. The modular design of the classroom can be adopted anywhere invariably and can be incremented X and Y easily. The module is concepted such that it can shape-shift into larger spaces for various activities.

Understanding that education is invariable of age, the program is keenly designed, independent of the grade depending on the subject adding to the flexibility. The school is programed such that the learning processes in the familiar open environment breaking the norm of a 4-walled classroom, also incu cating habits of nursery development and recycling.
